Chapter 36

Couples

Sackura woke up, eyes a bit blurry before she shot up. "D-did I fall asleep?" she asked. She looked around to see Tatsuke, pressing his ear against the wall. "Tatsuke?" she questioned. "Damn, they've noticed I'm not around," he said, grabbing Sackura's wrist and pulling her up. "We're going to have to sneak out, okay?" he said sternly, kissing Sakura before melting into the wall. Sackura closed her eyes before realizing that she was on the other side of cement. "Wow," she thought. Tatsuke walked slowly down a hall then pressed himself against a corner. Sackura did as well, when she heard footsteps pass them. "Man, I wish I could just beat them up," sneered Tatsuke quietly. Sackura smiled before, suddenly, Tatsuke picking Sackura up bridal style. "What are you doing?" gasped Sackura. "Getting you out," he said. Sackura watched as Tatsuke did and hand seals. Sackura gasped when she suddenly found herself outside, Tatsuke still holding her. "W-what did you do?" Sackura said, brushing hair out of her face. Tatsuke put her down and sighed. "It doesn't matter, you're out," he said, glaring at her. "W-what?" she questioned, stepping back a bit. "Don't you dare tell anyone where this is, you got that?" he yelled. Sackura was shocked. "And, don't ever come back!" he added. Sackura was silent as Tatsuke turned away. Tatsuke groaned when he heard her sniff. "Are you crying?" he asked, annoyed. "No," said Sackura, weakly. Tatsuke turned back to her slightly and sighed. He walked over and hugged her tight. "I shouldn't have yelled, I'm sorry," he whispered, Sackura nodding in response. "But Sackura, I'm serious," he said. Sackura didn't answer that time. "Tatsuke?" she whispered. Tatsuke nodded. "Do you love me?" Tatsuke pulled back to look at her face, streaked with tears. He smiled warmly and gave her a long loving kiss, of course I do," he said.

Mitsuki pulled on her red shirt, and plad skirt when Gaara walked in. "Sorry, I'm not dressed yet," she stated. Gaara sat there watching her as she finished dressing. "Pervert," giggled Mitsuki as Gaara blushed. When Mitsuki finally pulled her boots on, the couple grabbed the'r bags and headed for the chair lift. "Gaara?" asked Mitsuki, sitting next to him on the cold metal chair. "Hm?" he replied. "We should go on more dates, you know?" she said, wrapping her arms around one of his and placing her head on his shoulder. Gaara didn't say anything. Mitsuki sighed and snuggled closer. "I'm tired. I'm going to fall asleep. Wake me up when we're there?" asked Mitsuki. Before Gaara could answer she was long gone. Gaara sighed and pulled of his jacket so that they could both share it. "What an idiot," he thought, but smirked anyway.
